Sex and the Brooklyn
It makes you wonder: Now that much of Manhattan has turned into a theme park version of “Sex and the City,” would Carrie Bradshaw and the gang still live on the island? Probably not, since Manhattan is as played out as a pair of last season’s Manolos. “It’s expensive, and it’s not what it used…
It makes you wonder: Now that much of Manhattan has turned into a theme park version of “Sex and the City,” would Carrie Bradshaw and the gang still live on the island? Probably not, since Manhattan is as played out as a pair of last season’s Manolos. “It’s expensive, and it’s not what it used to be,” Sarah Jessica Parker tells the Daily News. “That’s why the outer boroughs are so desirable. The outer boroughs are pretty sexy. It’s just a matter of time before they have their own shows.” According to the article, “If ‘Sex’ were starting over today, Carrie would rock out Carroll Gardens. BFF Miranda started out in Park Slope, but later, she’s bound to settle down with Steve, Brady and a brand new car in spacious Red Hook,” while Samantha would roost in Long Island City and Charlotte would play house in Riverdale. The article has quotes from Brooklyn residents who say stuff like, “Carroll Gardens or Williamsburg have a little bit of the hip edge that Carrie has, so she’d be able to get away with her funky outfits and no one would think twice about it.” Hip, edgy, less expensive than Manhattan: You heard it here first, folks. Also, the apocalypse is nigh.

“Mercedez Benz Fashion week”? What next, “Dolce & Gabbana International Auto Show”?
I feel so unhip and unedgy!
Jerri…faded type insults don’t count
Jerri, give up the attempt to become Queen of the Old-Money Wasps and defend your people from ambitious interlopers. Not sure they want to have you as their representative. I think they’d elect someone with a house on the UES, not in Brooklyn.
2:46, there are plenty of fabulous Shiksas out there too – don’t judge them all based on Alex.
Isn’t Jill the one who went to Mercedez Benz Fashion week and STORMED OUT with her queeny friend because she wasn’t seated in the first row???
Good times.
“Real Housewives of NYC is fabulous TV”=true….and it will also make excellent propaganda films if the Nazi’s ever come back to kill the remaining Jews.”
But the nicest person on the show is Jill, who is Jewish. And the worst one is Alex, who is a Goy.
Why 2:40, because it shows what a good time they have spending the money THEY EARNED? Because it shows what a good mother this Jewish woman Jill is? Yeah, that’s really terrible. And she adores animals. How horrible!
When I first moved to NYC, I was making 25K a year, lived in a rent stabilized 1 bedroom (in midtown east…how UNfabulous) and spent every penny I made on Prada clothing and shoes.
I’ve since wised up, but sure…these things happen all the time.
You know what though…all that crap I once bought at H&M and Gap have long since been sent to Salvation Army or the trash can and the only things left (besides my vintage clothing, which I’ve been into now for a few years and never spend more than 20 bucks on anything) are those nice, expensive things I bought years and years ago.
